A well known semiconductor Cd3As2 has reentered the spotlight due to its unique electronic structure and quantum transport phenomena as a topological Dirac semimetal. For elucidating controlling state, high-quality thin films have been highly desired. Here we report development of an elaborate growth technique high-crystallinity high-mobility with controlled thicknesses observation Hall effect dependent on film thickness. With decreasing thickness 10 nm, states exhibit variations such change...
Electronic structure of quantum-confined Dirac semimetal is elucidated by establishing carrier control techniques in films.
Unconventional surface states protected by non-trivial bulk orders are sources of various exotic quantum transport in topological materials. One prominent example is the unique magnetic orbit, so-called Weyl semimetals where two spatially separated Fermi-arcs interconnected across bulk. The recent observation Hall Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 bulks have drawn attention to novel quantization phenomena possibly evolving from orbit. Here we report oscillation and its evolution into thin film samples,...

While anomalous Hall effect (AHE) has been extensively studied in the past, efforts for realizing large response have mainly limited within intrinsic mechanism. Lately, however, a theory of extrinsic mechanism predicted that magnetic scattering by spin cluster can induce AHE even above ordering temperature, particularly semiconductors with low carrier density, strong exchange coupling, and finite chirality. Here, we find out new semiconductor EuAs, where Eu2+ ions moments form distorted...
Abstract Topological semimetals hosting bulk Weyl points and surface Fermi-arc states are expected to realize unconventional orbits, which interconnect two on opposite sample surfaces under magnetic fields. While the presence of orbits has been proposed play a vital role in recent observations quantum Hall effect even three-dimensional topological semimetals, actual spatial distribution quantized transport experimentally elusive. Here, we demonstrate intrinsic coupling between...
A large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) originating in the Berry curvature has attracted growing attention for potential applications. The recently proposed magnetic Weyl semimetal ${\mathrm{EuCd}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}$ provides an excellent platform controlling AHE because it only hosts a Weyl-point-related band structure near Fermi energy. Here, we report fabrication of single-crystalline films and control their by film technique. As also analyzed first-principles calculations...
